Thought I'd chime in if it helps...

The main OS (or rom if you will), resides and is run on the application side (main CPU). This does all of the fancy things you actually see. It's a linux base with android on top. This resides on the system partition.

As you might know the central part of the os is the linux kernel. Kernel and rom are usually built to fit each other and you could run into problems when using an unsupported kernel. One prime example is if a rom uses a filesystem not supported by a specific kernel (bootlocks). Or changing kernel without updating the kernel modules (no wifi etc)

The so called "radio" is actually a separate operating system running on a separate CPU on the SoC (system on chip). This handles a lot of the need-to-work features like handling network communications, controlling radios, gps, receiving and making calls etc. It's kept separate from the main operating system for security reasons and to avoid missed calls just because you were playing angry birds... :P

When you make a call or surf the web the main os will communicate with the radio os through a specific protocol. This means that you can change the radio and rom as you like so long as it doesn't have a known incompatibility. Which roms work best with which radios I couldn't say. You'll have to try it out for yourself.

Happy flashing :)

Nightly - automatically built every night by a build-bot of whatever was in the repo at that time. The quality of nightlies depend a lot on the policy of what gets merged and when.

Release candidate - a version of the code that the team has determined to be stable. This is updated less frequently as it's usually subjected to quality testing.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Think of the release candidate as Beta software all the features are present, but some may be slightly buggy or not work on all hardware configurations, at that stage no new features will be added just refined in the lead up to the actual release.

The nightlies ( between RC and the stable release) are automated builds which contain patches to the software that is installed in the RC, these are normally aimed at polishing the features and fixing bugs. The nightlies wont add usually add features and in fact with particular flaky features might even remove them but with the odd exception should improve upon the RC.

I would recommend you try the RC, and if you see anything of interest in the nightlies (i.e they fix or improve a must have feature) flash the most recent one, if you follow the nightly thread you will find changelogs posted after the builds are put up.

One thing that bears mention is that Cyanogen ROM's don't contain the google apps (Gmail, market, Google maps etc) these require flashing seperately (if you want to know why please read this) and are really essential for full functionality the Gapps can be found in the CyanogenMod thread

How likely is it that I will brick my phone if it is my first time installing a custom ROM? As I've read in the first few posts it was said that it is hard to permanently damage it.
[Desire HD General] Hellreject:
It's not really likely that you'll brick your phone as long as you follow the guides 100%, and make sure any and all steps you take are done correctly. There's of course a chance that it might happen, but my experience has shown that it's most likely going to be alright :)

Just make sure you read loads first and understand the procedure.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
Hi all.

I have searched on the forums here for this information, and am still a little unclear on the ROM size of the Desire custom roms.

I use and flash a HTC HD2, which is done in a slightly different way to the Desire. So my friend asked me to help root his phone, which I did with Unrevoke 3.xx.

The issue he has with the Redux v1.0 ROM flashed he has hardly any internal storage left. ? On the HD2 we flash the clockwork to the size of the nand we require (400mb for Sense, 150mb for stock). Is this the same on the Desire?

His SD card is not partitioned in anyway at the moment, just one big FAT32 partition, so I am guessing partitioning it with Clockwork to have a 512mb ext partition would be a start.

I keep reading about the S-OFF functionality, which allows you to resize the NAND, is this something I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
Has anyone got any information to help a HTC HD2 owner help a fellow Desire owner out?

I don't really understand how this S-OFF works, I keep comparing it to the HD2 process which is clouding judgement.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Yes S-off allows to resize the nand. If you want to S-off use http://alpharev.nl/. (only for gsm, same goes for the alternative hboot's)

This is the same with a bit more text.

Once your S-off you can flash different hboot layouts. Instruction are also on AlphaRev. Make sure to follow the procedure and you/your friend is the only one responsible for what happens, no one else.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc52317:
I have rooted my INC, removed all the Bloatware etc, all I would like to do now is change kernel for a little better battery life. Would like a Kernel to either set profiles (setCPU) or one that is set up for better battery with no adjustments.

Running stock sense, rooted.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
There aren't many Sense kernel's that are still updated much, AFAIK, but when I ran a sense rom I stuck with "HeyItsLou Custom Sense Kernel"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859337

But once again, its all your preference, how YOU feel that the phone runs with whatever kernel you choose. Try that, look for others try them, and then you can see which one runs best. Everyone on here has their own choice for "best" kernel, now its time to make your decision too :cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruss01:
IME Lou's #8 seems to do the best when phone is idle a lot, but under heavy use battery was no better or maybe worse than stock for me.

incredikernel by chad was best for me all around, even overclocked a little. Trying ziggys right now, Hella fast and stable so far, battery seems mediocre...nandroid and try them all! I never had issues with hydra either but they seemed to have fallen out of favor.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotaryboots:
I've read that people are getting better battery results by getting the SetCPU app and loading in a custom profile. The thread on what I'm talking about is around here somewhere, fairly recent topic. Kernels, from what I read, differ more by people's own experiance than real noticable differences. Perhaps just get some better battery management like with SetCPU, run a dimmer screen, turn off 3g when you're not using it...ya know, the same scenario that windows mobile guys go through. Also go out and buy a car charger, get a cheap wall charger for at work, etc. Its practically a portable laptop. ...sorry I'm getting a bit off topic....I hear incredikernel is a good one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc52317:
I thought setcpu does not work on stock kerenl? Is this incorrect thought you need perflock access? I have extended battery and have set my phone for battery saving, just thought be nice to set a few profiles in setcpu.

HTC Incredible S, Desire HD, Desire Z and original Desire will all be eating Gingerbread by the end of June

HTC Incredible S, Desire HD, Desire Z and original Desire will all be eating Gingerbread by the end of June

By Vlad Savov posted Feb 27th 2011 8:57AM

When it launched the Incredible S at MWC a couple of weeks ago, HTC promised the new 4-inch device would be quick to get a Gingerbread update and now it's giving us a definitive schedule for it by saying that Android 2.3 will be distributed to its new flagship phone by the end of Q2 2011. We're not sure four months of sitting by the window waiting for the OTA update to float in necessarily matches up to our definition of "quick," but there are much better news for owners of HTC's older devices. The Desire HD and Desire Z -- both released in September 2010 -- will also be leaping away from Froyo and up to Gingerbread and will be joined by the original Desire, which was announced way back at last year's MWC. That handset was essentially HTC's own-brand Nexus One, so we already knew it was capable of running Gingerbread, but it's still rare to see a device go through two significant Android updates (the Desire began life with Android 2.1). All these old Desires are placed on the same update schedule as the Incredible S, whereas the newly announced Desire S and Wildfire S will ship with Gingerbread preloaded.

I saw other install this a bit after instal rom so i tried but it will not work.but i dont want to change rom this is so good.

But i can back it up and se try if i got it working then.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidcarp:
Yeah try backing it up and then start a fresh and see how it goes. So basically put all the rom stuff into the root of your SD, put the d2sd into your root,. clear caches, partitions, wipe Dalvik, wipe battery then install rom+apps then d2sd. Then reboot.

if youve moved the img from recovery, it sounds like youve done it the wrong way round. IIRC and someone will correct me, the img is just an picture of your back up. you can effectively delete your backed up roms by removing the image.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
Hi guys! I'm up with another application again and It's called JWMD Themer. This application "again" currently(that means i'll be supporting WM6.1) supports WM6.5/WM6.5.x

Let's say JWMD Themer will be concentrating on theming your Start Menu Icons in WM6.5/WM6.5.x.

I don't usually use JWMD Icon Changer because I don't have the energy of customizing the look of my icons and especially the way that I could only change the icon one by one... :D

The goal of this application is to minimize the effort of changing your start menu icons by how?

My JWMD Icon Changer is lacking of one thing .. it can back up your current theme .. but can't barely restore them or share your theme to others because of path referencing in Registry and in Programs folder.

for example: You have NFS Underground installed, of course you made a very nice looking icon for it then the short cut file is located in "Games\3D Games\Racing" folder and you have other programs that was probably managed the same way.. If you tried using JWMD Icon Changer backup, flashed a new ROM, installed NFS and by default, the location is in "Games" folder. Restoring the icons doesn't work anymore because the location of the files from the old theme was different.. And that's the current problem.

So the solution is to, not to refer to the path of the short cut file, but the filename! so no matter where the short cut file is located in start menu/programs folder, it could still be themed!

If you're a fan of Icon Packer from WinCustomize or Tuneup Styler from Tuneup Utilities or any icon themer for Windows desktop then that's the goal of this application!!

- You could create your theme and share to others!

- Backup your current theme, update it, and share to others!

- What a wonderful world in Windows Mobile 6.5/6.5.x devices!

So I am proposing to you all, especially Chefs from different ROMS to have a Naming System!! which I (me myself) participated here> Start menu icons initiative Other Chefs name their FDC Task Manager to "Task Manager" other "Task Man" NO! We need to have a standard naming system! :)

This application is NOT TO compete with my JWMD Icon Changer but to just have a dedicated one :D

here's the very short demo on what I am doing!

Has anyone put the new Rogers rom on a locked ATT unit?

Any market problems?

Any problems removing Rogers apps?

I THINK want to go to one of the custom roms but I'm only on Baseband 2.0.46

and I don't have Dual Touch installed. But it seems that I'm required to update to the higher bb at least, and though I see a BB update only thread, it's unclear if all basebands are compatible with all SE 2.1 update-1. And then I would still have to update to dual touch prior to installing a custom rom.

Since these are two independent flash requirements, and it seems that I have to update to some rom higher than 504 anyway, so I was wondering if I could just go to the Rogers one.... getting dual touch and a higher baseband right off the bat in an official package in one shot, and check it out prior to deciding to move on.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kxhawkins:
Different basebands work with different firmwares and kernels. You can mix and match, to some degree (for instance, .55 baseband works with .435 or 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW), but there's really no reason to.

I own an AT&T X10a, and I always use the X10i Global Generic firmwares. All the features without all the crap.

Check out the link in my signature for an optimized version of the .435 firmware (dualtouch, etc). Follow the instructions, there's a file for flashing the new kernel and baseband on there.

Good luck!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
But even your firmware says I have to flashtool a higher baseband to get it work prior. (Shouldn't you update your screen shots, you show bb 2.0.46 when you really mean 2.0.54) Though what you've put together is very interesting. Do you still have all the SE apps, too, in the collection of applications? (Just asking, I know they have apk's available.)

I'm just trying to avoid flashing multiple times now*, do a straight 2.1.1.A.0.6 update and flash only once and get higher baseband, dual touch and whatever other tweaks there are which don't require flashing. There's no LAM/NAM generic of this version yet?

*flashtool for me a PITA, because I don't have VISTA/Win7 computers generally available and it works better on that than XP which is problematic due to the SE usb drivers which sometimes freeze it in flash mode. I am getting a decent tax refund, I suppose it's time to upgrade to sandybridge and Win7 (since the first SP is out) before they announce Win8.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue so here goes.

I regularly connect my Desire Z to my PC in Internet Pass-through to get data for updating apps and Navdroid map updates.

No problem connecting and the data throughput is great.

However, once I have disconnected the phone from the PC I have lost 3G/HSPD connectivity. The only way to get these back is to restart the phone.

I have tried turning on Airplane mode, and then turning it off - no success.

I also tried turning off data and then turning it back on - no success there either.

Is this a known issue or has anyone else come across it. Anyone found a solution if they have, bar restarting the phone that is.. ?

Thanks,

Des. . . ; )
[G2 and Desire Z General] Czechton:
Yeh this also happens to me, though only sometimes. Unfortunately, all I've been able to figure out in terms of fixing it is just restarting.

Data connection is not the only thing that glitches for me with internet pass through, sometimes the other types of USB connection stop working as well (e.g. the phone will not be seen by my windows machine when put into removable drive mode after being in internet pass through) until I restart. Essentially, even though internet pass through does not always cause problems I always restart after using it since it seems to be good at glitching other things out and probably messes up things I don't even notice at first.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cis1016:
This has happened to me several times...

What I noticed is that whenever I disconnect the phone while it is in Internet Pass-Through mode, I couldn't get my mobile data connection to work afterwards..

So before disconnecting, maybe you can try changing your USB connection mode, say, to Charge Only. When disconnecting from that mode, mobile data works.. at least in my experience..

Hi,

Might be worth a try, that. Czechton can you try and see what sort of results you get?

I will second that - this problem occured for me everytime I connected the phone in the "internet pass through mode" - I also noticed (although I did not keep track to check if this solves the problem EVERY time) that if I change to the "charge only"
